The morning after the shoot, Xiaojiao found her face red, swollen and covered in blisters. She returned to the photo studio and complained of her predicament, then the studio staff took her to the hospital.

Doctors said that she was suffering from dermatitis, saying that the symptoms were an allergic reaction to the make-up applied on her face the previous day.

The studio promised to give Xiaojiao 3,000 yuan to compensate her for the cost of her treatment.
